Texas Statewide Roundup April 28, 2007-TRADES

silverfluter........thank you. did you have black jack sedum? and what is angelita daisy? i have to look that up. prob. would like that or any other native. did you want anything besides the red hardy glads?

Mamajack, Sorrry I don't have blackjack sedum. Angelita daisy is an incredibly tough wild flower, makes a yellow daisy and spreads very slowly. Don't think I need anything else on your list. Can't remember, things are getting a little hectic around here.

hello DAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE!! gocha on the bulbs.

silverfluter i would like the angelita. thank you.

I just looked at PF and I'm not sure that what I have is angelita daisy, but we can ask Josephine or somebody at the RU and find out for sure. If you don't want it, that's OK. The tag that came with it said angelita daisy.

Thanks mamajack :)

mamajack....the japanese wisteria are seedlings, and I have battled mites on them so they don't look too good right now. I can send seeds though if you would like, they are easy to germinate and grow quickly.

I went through my stuff last night, and I found 2 yellow milkweed seedlings for you. I don't know anything about them, that's just what the seed packet said, they were from a trade.

:) Kim

pat rob............i added all of those things you just asked for.

blue eyes.......never mind on jap. wisteria seedlings. but yes on the milkweed.

Thanks, mamajack, but I really just meant for you to pick one! I'll owe you when we do the iris trade later. :>)

well patrob let's smoke 'em if we got 'em. lol.

So I am hoping our pavilion is still in one piece.....an unconfirmed report of a tornado through that exact area. A labmate of mine that lives over there said there were trees snapped, a roof displaced into another parking lot, and the middle school there had quite a bit of damage. I hope no one else had tornadoes or such.

Bad storm coming I can hear the thunder. I need to be outside working.


mamajack I can bring you some wisteria. I have plenty I am sure. will dig them for you when I can get outside. Rain never bothers me makes it cooler.

Smockette does your lady slipper live in the ground?

Be careful, Sandy! Lightning is nothing to mess around with, and if it isn't there yet, it's definitely heading your way.

From http://www.uswx.com/us/wx/tx/77024/?stn=KSGR

Sandi, yes, it can grow in the ground. I have mine in pots but I have DEER!!!

Please make sure to visit the head count thread I made so we can get an idea of how many people to expect: http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/716231/

Also, for those coming for breakfast.....I couldn't get the back room reserved but they will be setting aside a table section for us. Tell them you are with Dave's Garden when you arrive to find the seating.

Last but not least.....who has the nametags from before or should I be making these this week?

Thanks! Kim

Kim, I brought them last fall but I don't remember if there were any left. Maybe we could ask Marylyn?

I'm making nametags, so I'm glad you are getting a head count. :-) I'm going to start those tonight...

Thanks so much Marylyn!

Notice for the people who wanted my irises. I think I might have iris borers. Something made the foliage do weird things and some of the leaves are hollow. If you don't want them, I'll understand.

Does anyone have any of these canna's that I can get a start of?
Australia
Autumn Dragon
Bangkok
Chocolate Cherry
Herbs White
Journey's End
Princess Di
Striped Beauty

Thanks a million!!
Trishann

Mary Lee, what weird things did your iris foliage do?

Well, some of it twisted, some of the leaves got caught inside other leaves and didn't grow. And on some of them, the stalks layed down on the ground.

Have you checked the rhizomes for rot beneath fallen stalks? Hard wind, of course, takes them down too. The twisted foliage and leaves caught inside others sound like weather-related anomalies. We've had lots of cool, cloudy, wet days. I've never seen an iris borer and don't want to. but I have been told we don't have them in Texas. Hope that's right! Maybe someone on the iris forum who has seen borers can help more than I.

Patrob, do you think I should bring these? There's no soft spots on them. I guess I'll bring them and you can look and see what you think.

I remember somebody want redbud trees. Well I found a couple, but I can't remember who wanted them and I don't have time to go through the thread and look. Things are getting really nutty around here. DD's boyfriend thinks I don't ever cook, because every time he's been here, I've been diggin' in the dirt.:)

Go ahead and bring me some irises.....I bet they will be ok.

:) Kim

Marylee I think DBF should care more about DD cooking than yours . lol
I will take a Red Bud tree... if you dont find out who wanted it.

OK. Anybody for redbuds?

You're right Sylvia.:) I wish DD would cook. Unfortunately she's just like I was at 22. The kitchen is a room that holds the refrigerator. Once in awhile she'll cook, but it's rare.

Mary Lee, I have had all those problems with my irises from time to time and I'd bet that yours are fine. This cool, sometimes cold, spring weather has thrown mine for a loop. A lot are not going to bloom at all. The others are blooming all at once, regardless of whether they are supposed to be early, midseason, or late bloomers. Bummer. The rebloomers have done nothing this spring, so perhaps they will bloom in the fall.

I have come to the conclusion that irises are hard to figure. I guess they are moody?:)

Iris, goddess of the rainbow. Female, moody? Hmmmm

Are you suggesting the irises have PMS? LOL

Marylyn, having been raised by a Mother and two Sisters and now with a wife, daughter and 4 female cats......you can suggest ANYTHING you want, Dear !!!!!!!!

ROLFOL

I'd like a redbud. We've lost a couple of trees this year and another is on the way out. Redbuds are my favorite.

I forgot to count those, but I's pretty sure I have atleast 2.

Does anyone have a pet rabbit? I have a bag and a half of cedar shavings and a bag of Timothy hay if anyone can use it...

Would anyone be interested in cuttings of rose Madame Antoine Marie? My bush is going nuts so I could take fresh cuttings.

Kim

silverflutter I would love some Iris.

smockette I would like a ladyslipper.
